Command ‘Reset origin device’

Function: This command resets the device to its factory settings. All applications, boot applications, and remanent variables will be deleted from the device.

Call: Right-click a programmable device in the device tree.

Requirement: The application is in online mode.

Attention

If a safety controller is inserted below a PLC, then this command can permanently interrupt the communication links of the safety controller to other safety controllers (via safety network variables), to field devices, and to the development system. The safe field devices and the other safety controller can enter the safe state as a reaction. The connection to the development system is affected only in the case of a safety controller that is connected to the main controller via a fieldbus. For more information, refer to the section “Subordinate Safety Controllers”.
